City break: Lisbon

The Portuguese capital, with its alluring combination of hills, heritage and
coastline, is one of the most affordable short-haul city breaks you can take.

of flights, which are relatively expensive when compared to accommodation and
eating out, as our Nick Trend, our Consumer Travel Editor, wrote in his recent article on good-value city

Lisbon also came top of a list comparing value for those seeking a more
luxurious stay. What the experts say
Guyan Mitra, Telegraph Travel's Lisbon expert, said: "Rarely too hot or cold,
Lisbon is a year-round destination. The first buds of spring usually appear
around late February while the last puffs of the Sahara-warmed winds keep the
mercury high well into November. "
